icecold's training log

[icecold]

yeah they suck!

Forgot to write my comments on the sets.

Set 1: Pretty much spot on.

Set 2: Poorly coordinated pull from the floor on the first rep. Hips too high. I managed to correct it after the pause but it was a little bit too much of an RDL and so very hard. Second rep was good.


Mock meet tomorrow!

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Do you push yourself in these mock meets as in going for PBs on all three lifts or is it just an exercise to get used to pulling singles and long waiting times between sets?

 

[LiE]

long waiting times between sets?

If only

 

[icecold]

It depends.

A mock meet is basically a testing day, as well as being tool to directly train for a comp day. Throughout my programming I can track various measurables to gauge progress, but there are some things that you can only test in a more controlled setting than a normal training day. One example would be the testing of a 1 rep max. I'm also interested in top end form and weaknesses, and to expose these in the most relevant way for powerlifting I need to test with heavy singles.

For true 1rm testing I'd want to be fresh and basically completely recovered from fatigue, but for everything else it doesn't matter even if I'm massively suppressed because even those slightly lighter weights that I'd end up lifting will expose the same limitations. It's also possible to manage fatigue levels and track these 1rms tested while fatigued.

Tomorrow, for example, my performance should be quite suppressed.

 

[icecold]

If only

Yes and this.

Me, LiE and Dom are planning a mock meet where we have rests that simulate a comp. These will be around 3 minutes, which is not easy, especially by the time you get to deadlifts.

IN for suppressed mock meet..

Another week "off". Goodnight sweet liver/gains/voice.

Training 28/08/13

So I arrived home at 12pm with 2 hours sleep in the last 48. Slept for 7 hours and dreamt that I was bleeding blue blood from my face. I think science says that this means I have broken myself.

Off to the gym D:

Deadlifts
bar x some
60x10
100x5 lol already horrible
140x5 death
180x1 better
200x1 somewhere between death and better
220x5 time for a small lie down
205x5
205x5
205x5
Just brutal. Too many feels to hold

Bench
bar x 20
60x10
80x10
100x5
105x5
105x5
90 second rests, and all very easy Would have done more sets and weight but I ran out of time. I was also doing my own unracks which I never do because my shoulder normally hates it. My body has such a weird relationship with benching...

Time for an epic backload.

Gains, pls respond.

 

[Delvis]

So many feels

Epic back definitely needed! Dat deadlift volume

 

[LiE]

Sleep deprived PBs.. mad lifting with so little.

 

[Steedie]

Sex marathon?

 

[icecold]

I was thinking of you the whole time.

Good lord that's tough. Serious all over leg pump, which is exactly what I wanted. More weight next week.


Easing back into load and volume, feels good. Tomorrow is going to be a big session, and a vest session.

Most of these last 4 things were done in about 30 mins. Had to take a break in the middle of the session because we were reorganising the room - unexpected cardio.

 

[Delvis]

Tape? Actual tape?
Tape could be kinesio tape, or was it a voodoo band?

Don't know how kinesio tape would work on your ankle mind?

 

[mrthingyx]

Sounds like voodoo bands. Strength Shop now do their own...

I doubt icecold would stop so low as to use kinesio tape.

 

[MoNkeE]

Probably why he asked icecold, Doovis

 

[Skillmister]

Don't know mind
